Fashion Forward Hotels Designed By Ralph Lauren, Armani, Versace, and More

While we all can't sit front row during Fashion Week, but you can still get a taste of haute couture at these stylish hotels that have collaborated with designers like Versace, Ralph Lauren, Armani, and Diane von Furstenberg.

ARMANI HOTEL DUBAI

Soaring over the city, the Armani Hotel Dubai is tucked inside the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Designed and developed by Giorgio Armani, the hotel has its own separate entrance and boasts seven restaurants, exclusive stores, and a spa that offers bespoke treatments to every guest. The minimalist lines and elegant colors capture Armani’s style, down to every detail—even the custom furnishings and amenities.

BULGARI RESORT

The secluded Bulgari Resort blends Bulgari’s contemporary Italian aesthetic with traditional Balinese architecture. Elements of the surrounding nature and culture are worked into the resort’s design, including volcanic stone and bangkiray hardwood, as well as furniture, art, ceramics, textiles, and flatware made by local artists. The property boasts its own Hindu Temple on the highest point, as well as a beach that is exclusively accessible via the resort’s elevator.

RALPH LAUREN FOR ROUND HILL HOTEL AND VILLAS

Ralph Lauren himself transformed elements of Round Hill Hotel and Villas into a tropical-preppy paradise in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The Pineapple House, a 36-room hotel, was remodeled under his leadership, and he also designed the Cocktail Bar, restaurant The Grill, and spa. Every room in the Pineapple house overlooks the Caribbean and the infinity pool. Lauren owns one of the property’s 26 villas, and his design sensibilities meld perfectly with Round Hill’s vintage glamour. Opened in 1953, Round Hill has hosted such icons as Sir Noel Coward, Adele Astaire, Bill and Babe Paley, and Oscar Hammerstein.

PALAZZO VERSACE

It’s immediately apparent which designer is behind Palazzo Versace—the fashion house’s bold touch is all over it. Saturated colors and rich, European flair permeates the property. The House of Versace’s signature Medusa head is found everywhere, from crockery to cabanas and even in the hotel’s driveway, in the form of a mosaic crafted by an Italian artisan. When it opened its doors in 2000, it was the first fully branded fashion hotel.

OSCAR DE LA RENTA FOR TORTUGA BAY

Dominican Republic native Oscar de la Renta brought his talents home to Tortuga Bay. Set along three miles of pristine private beach, the cheerful villa interiors are inspired by the vivacious colors of the Caribbean, completed with elegant wood and wicker furnishings. Looking for something more adventurous than relaxing on your towel on the white sand beach? Plenty of activities are offered, including kite surfing, deep sea fishing, snorkeling, kite boarding, scuba diving, horseback riding, tennis, bicycling and kayaking. And a major perk: The resort has its very own international airport.

THE ST. REGIS NEW YORK

A landmark Beaux Arts classic built in 1904 on Fifth Avenue, the St. Regis offers haute couture-loving guests the stunning Dior Suite. The suite is decked out in the fashion house’s signature muted shades of neutral grays, pinks and whites. The living room is modeled after Dior’s avenue Montaigne headquarters, complimented by Louis XVI-style furniture.

DIANE VON FURSTENBERG FOR CLARIDGE’S

After being a guest of Claridge’s in London for three decades, Diane Von Furstenberg lent her signature flair to, in her words, “the most glamorous hotel in the world.” The hotel’s Art Deco ambiance is merged with DVF’s plucky prints, animal patterns, and bright florals. Her travels have long informed her collections, and she brought that concept to Claridge’s—the walls of the rooms are lined with photographs she took on trips to Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

FERRAGAMO FOR CASTIGLION DEL BOSCO

Massimo Ferragamo converted an entire Tuscan village into his Castiglion del Bosco. Just 30 minutes from Siena, it has its own vineyards, orchards, olive groves, and even a chapel with medieval and Renaissance period frescoes. The 800-year old estate covers almost 4,200 acres right in Val d’Orcia National Park. Old farmhouses were transformed into villas throughout the property, each with their own gardens, stone pools, and décor that was sparked by the local heritage and made by local craftsmen.
